Must be those goddamned liberals in Washington again. They all drive BMWs anyway while smoking pot and listening to Snoop Doggy Dog CDs on their portable boom boxes (with environmentally friendly batteries). Uh oh, now its the Republicans talking anti-trust. Well those SOBs drive big Mercedes and only listen to talk radio. What do they care about protecting the Ford people from radio choices? What?, You say Adam Smith abhorred monoplies? What has the world come to?? Poor Microsoft. The victim.

WASHINGTON -- The Justice Department today filed suit against Ford Motor Company, alleging that Ford's practice of "bundling" radios with its cars was a monopolistic restriction of trade, and an unfair competitive practice against makers of car radios such as Alpine and Pioneer. Bad analogy. Bundling a compact with a Minivan is closer to the case. Perhaps Long Distance service bundled with Local Service is a better historical analogy (How did the Justice department deal with that one again?) 8-0 -Dan
